Chinglish.com Releases Chinese-English E-mail Portal at Amsterdam-Beijing Rally 2006

August 07, 2006

    BEIJING, Aug. 7 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- On August 11,
the very day around 80 classic cars to arrive in Beijing
from Amsterdam after a marathon ride of 17,500 kilometers,
Chinglish BV, the official sponsor of the event, will
launch a new bilingual e-mail program.  By allowing users
to read and write Chinese online anywhere in the world and
by translating e-mail messages from English to Chinese and
vice versa, Chinglish addresses the needs of millions of
businesspeople and students in search of solutions to
overcome the communication barrier separating China and the
West.  Chinglish supports both simplified and traditional
Chinese by input methods including alphabet, pinyin and
zhuyin fuhao.  "It is the first internet portal
offering translation and an array of language tools
embedded within a web-mail application," says Tang
Qian, General Manager of Chinglish PRC.

    The Chinglish-method

    The Chinglish.com website is based on the Chinglish
format, i.e. Chinese and English side-by-side.  In China,
this format has been steadily spreading via books and
magazines.  However, paper does not match the interactive
solutions offered by the internet.  Chinglish.com has
picked up the gauntlet in solving the technical
difficulties accompanying a dual Chinese-English online
approach.  After two years of research, Chinglish.com is
now ready to launch a beta version of its bilingual portal.


    Representatives of the Beijing Olympic Committee 2008,
also an official sponsor of ABR 2006, will attend the
finishing ceremonies of the rally in Beijing.  Marius van
Bergen, founder and CEO of Chinglish.com, states that he
has identified the 2008 Olympics in Beijing as a milestone
in the promotion of the Chinglish concept and proposition:
"The rally bridged the distance between China and the
West by car.  Chinglish.com continues where the rally stops
and goes further, not with cars, but with the vehicle of
language. After all, in terms of language, 50% of the world
economy in 2010 will be accounted for by Chinese and
English."
